Tom Simone’s translation is simply superb.  Of all the A

translations with which I am familiar, this is the one that N

is the most faithful to what’s there in the Italian: no frills, TE 

no poetic sallies, no choosing a word because it brings the line closer to iambic pentameter -- just unadulterated Dante with good old Anglo-Saxon words and in highly readable prose.
